Tape Measures
This may sound like a daft question but has anyone found a steel tape measure that reads from right to left? I want to use one as a measuring guide on the extended fence of my compound mitre saw. I have hunted every tool shop I can find but all tape measures seem to be made to read from left to right. If I use a standard tape then the writing is upside down and mistakes are more likely.

Carba-Tec have them in their catalogue in both imperial and metric, reading left or right.
